Is there a bow wave in cycling drafting? In other words, if we’re racing into a block headwind and I ride up one edge of the peloton is there an aerodynamic advantage even though I’m not directly behind everybody else? How close do I have to be, laterally, to other riders to get some advantage?

What is the weight to aero trade-off when climbing for the average rider, not the pros? That is, for a rider with a watts / kg of 4, what is the trade-off between better aerodynamics (e.g., deeper section wheels, etc.) and weight, and when should you prioritize one over the other.

In terms of drag caused by a bicycle rider, the biggest loss is caused by the rider themselves followed by the wheels and frame.
The drag caused by wheels is significant because of two fundamental reasons. The first is they hit the air first as they...

I’d also like their perspective on disc wheels and the actual break even point on speed. I’m yet to see a good (read: non-wheel manufacturer funded) study comparing the various disc wheels on the market and their performance at a variety of speeds

Their thoughts on products such as this and their viability and usefulness at calculating CDA for those of us without access to a wind tunnel:

If I’m on a non-aero climbing bike, what (if any) are the benefits of ‘slamming’ the stem? Is there a sweet spot of stem slammage, assuming rider flexibility/comfort/handling don’t suffer from a lower position? Is there a way (short of wind tunnel testing) to find the best slammed position for a given rider?

When will aero bikes and light weight bikes simply become one light aero bike that peaks in both metrics within the current UCI rules?

Will Specialized consider bringing to market a non-UCI legal aero road bike? (Can make the point that if the market shows enthusiasm for this, the rules could change faster doing it this way).

Have they committed any R&D into internal gearing in the bottom bracket. Why are we still wearing out and spending large amounts of time scrubbing external drivetrains that are not aerodynamic, not to mention that the drivetrain efficiency of the current model can reduce dramatically over a ride as it collects dirt.
